Let's give Kim her flowers 💐. She's one of the very few content creators that truly keeps it real❤. Thanks Kim

[@catherineb5066]

Absolutely 💐💐💐💐💐💝💝💝💝

[@ladytee1609]

Totally agree 💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤

[@VictoriaBard]

💐 💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@sylvettemaricot3836]

Love the addition so far. My goal for today is to clean a part of the garden where flowers grow out of proportion. Our after school snack is France used to be a piece of bread (baguette) with butter and chocolate.. Yum. Bon week-end Kim

[@amandadavispomeroy]

💐 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@evelyncolon12]

Does anyone else zone out when Kim has Wolfgang in her arms and just stare at his cute face! ❤️❤️

[@mrspickle8285]

I usually have to replay it cause im too focused on Wolfgang and not listening LOL again how can you not, he's just so adorable

[@reniehandler2595]

Me too....he's soooooOooo cute!!!!! :)

[@lindacook4032]

He is such a sweetheart , just adorable.

[@laurab7379]

Wolfgang has the face of the Gerber Baby! Mesmerizing! He is beautiful! I have to repeat as well! LOL!

[@lynnhind4747]

Yes absolutely

[@lydiaerickson3731]

Honestly Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday mornings wouldn’t be the same without a Kim video to start my day with

[@thewadsquad]

So glad we get to hang out every weekend 👏🏻 🎉

[@lr9152]

Same! Look forward to it!

[@nickikufan]

If I walked into your house and saw crumbs on the floor, I'd say, Hey, this is the home of the woman across the room! Crumbs on the floor means she loves and feeds her family. Love the addition and little Wolfgang sleeping!

[@thewadsquad]

For sure!! Crumbs means food was served! 👏🏻

[@cheryllilley5115]

Who remembers when everything was cooked at 411 degrees?! LOL!

[@susanmckay5085]

"If you come to see me, come anytime. If you come to see my house, Make An Appointment!" You are doing a Fabulous job!

[@thewadsquad]

Haha love that!

[@justpatty7328]

Wolfgang being in the video, just gazing at the camera is the highlight of my day! He's perfect! Blessings to you, Kim and all the family.

[@thewadsquad]

I love him so much he’s the best 🎉❤

[@baddkatt9223]

People!!! If you can't be nice go somewhere else. She is wonderful! Home, 5 wee ones, hubby, workman, Cooks-homemade!!!! Come on she IS the woman across the room to many of us. We love you Kim. Ignore the trolls-not worth breath! Ya make us smile, makes us laugh, show us we are Not alone-good enough! Hugs! So glad & lucky we found you all this time ago!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Oh my goodness, look at that extension. Now that is called PROGRESS 👍

[@aimee2234]

It's going to be great! Sleep well, princess!❤

[@thewadsquad]

Right!!! I can hardly believe it!!

[@jasminekirkman5416]

Pickles with cream cheese wrapped in ham is chefs kiss! Alex knows where it’s at! 😂

[@Katheverett]

Clauson pickles (refrigerated) are a must. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on ham, wrap around the pickle and slice 1/4” thick rounds. To die for!

[@lynnelavella2432]

💜🧡💚Kim, I am so excited for your addition! I love the sunlights everywhere! I have a few suggestions for your H2O bottle/storage issue: An over-the-door clear plastic shoe storage thingy on the under the stairs door or one clear, plastic tub in the cabinet where they are now...just slide it out and dump them in. ALSO, in your laundry room, since you don't use the rod between the two cabinets, you could put a shelf there for at least two more baskets like you have underneath. Thank you for posting 3x a week, I enjoy hanging out with you and your family 💚🧡💜

[@amyb6820]

Or a cheap wine rack works well, too, look at the thrift store.

[@thewadsquad]

I’ve heard of that water bottle storage idea, just haven’t implemented anything! Lol all I hear in my head is the clinking of everything as I open and shut that door 😂

[@lynnelavella2432]

@THE WADS 💚🧡💜 If you tack it all around the edges, it won't move when you open the door. If the bottles rattle around in their little "sleeping bags," you can use a paperclip to make each slot smaller if needed. Mine works like a dream, and everyone can see and grab their favorite. It's a real time-saver, I really hope you give it a try! 💜🧡💚

[@lindamcdermott9980]

When I got home from school in high school and college, my dad was there, he worked from home, he would have the table set with a table cloth, cups and saucers, napkins and some kind of goodies. We would wait for the mail man (a close friend), and we would all have tea. Good memories.

[@candacelinville5749]

WOOHOO!! The best part of my Saturday!!

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hello Candace! How are you doing?

[@mindyhein9186]

Pickle roll ups are a real thing-spread cream cheese on a thin piece of ham, wrap it around a dill pickle then slice. They are an appetizer at all our family gatherings.

[@thewadsquad]

Stop. Lol

[@laninguyen777]

Honestly Kim, if I come over as a friend to your house, I won’t be judging you from my perspective on how to live a perfect life cause mom life’s not perfect. Instead, I would offer a helping hand in any way I can or just simply hang out. Adulting is tough enough but being a busy mom of multiple children is even tougher. My family lives in the Tampa Bay area as well, tropical climate. Your videos always inspired me and gave me more positive energy to take care of my home and family. You’re the best!

[@emilytrainor5141]

The new addition looks fantastic.Rapunzel is adorable, I love hearing her sweet little voice & Wolfgang is so sweet❣️Happy Weekend Party People!

[@debbyjo123]

Ohhhhh KIM!!!! Little Meredith is growing up so fast!!! How does this happen??? I think we’d miss it if you weren’t showing short clips of her here and there. I hope she keeps liking to wear all those party princess dresses!!! That will be a sad day when she grows out of that season of her life. But, there will be something new to appreciate when she does. You have the best kids… because you and Alex are the best parents… shhhhhh it’s mostly YOU Kim!!!!

[@thewadsquad]

I love that she wears the dresses!! Today she’s a witch. 👏🏻 girl after my own heart

[@pjmoody]

Wolfgang is so cute and a real trooper. Thanks for sharing Kim. House will be complete soon.

[@thewadsquad]

Wolfgang Is down for anything as long as I’m holding him 😂

[@kathykwilliams6457]

Doors on shelves are a MUST IN MY WORLD!

[@mischelemiller5020]

Ya! Our power just went out with our heavy wet spring snow storm! TVs out and super glad to have a new video to watch! Ps. Its 4 am here in montana! Lol

[@marlenewaraksa8756]

If. I walked into your house and there were crumbs I’d say where’s a vacuum let me help. It’s always fun doing something in someone else’s house. And maybe you’d feed me one of your Fantastic meals. That’s what friends are for Kim ❤️👍

[@kimberlymiller655]

Love love waking up to this. It’s been a hard couple of days. We lost one of our beloved fur babies. 😢😢😢 can’t stop crying. ❤❤ love you and our family here.

[@thewadsquad]

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤ sending so much love and comfort your way ♥️

[@krishirano515]

Sending prayers ...they are our babies

[@allanaburton650]

Saturday night party people with our gal Kim , let’s rock 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@brilliantbutblue]

Rocking in Melbourne Australia on a Saturday night 🎉

[@thewadsquad]

Let’s rock! 🎉

[@nan----]

What a nice addition to the house. Wolfgang has the cutist face. You walking around with him...he is just taking it all in. 🤗💖

[@bajoy273]

Oh my gosh, Wolfgang sleeping in Kim’s arms and Kim stroking his baby head is the most relaxing sight. What a cutie😍❤️😍❤️

[@mistyowings5579]

Yesssssszzz ❤

[@TianaAsia123]

I love hearing about the happenings around the house. It’s like we’re chatting while you clean lol I love it! I’m so excited to see how the addition turns out, your home is beautiful and your family is so blessed! They’re lucky to have you, you’re such an uplifting soul.

[@thewadsquad]

You are wonderful! Thanks for the love! Happy to hang out with you today 🎉

[@conniesmith3922]

Kim, you are still Wonder Woman. Never worry about the state of your home. You have 5 growing children and you live in your home. Love the addition! Skylights will be amazing letting the light in. Keep on living your best life! 💕💕💕

[@reniehandler2595]

Hi Kim!!!! Your addition looks fantastic, and I can envision it all done! OMG.....Wolfgang is so dang cute!!! He is adorable when he looks at the camera while you're talking. He looks so much like you!!! You certainly get a good leg work out when you wear him while doing chores! lol

[@thewadsquad]

He loves being on me! He’s the sweetest!

[@kimberlyprice2]

Years ago my friend and I met when she had two kids and one in the oven. Hers were 6, 3, and one cooking. I had girls that were 8 and 4 years old. She used to always tell me, "Sorry, my house is a mess." Most of the time it was far from a mess. I used to tell her, "I don't care! I came here to visit you, not your house." She was such a great mom and her kids were always so cute and kept. That is what really matters to me.

[@skat4160]

You should consider giving Meredith Wentworth's room as she will want her own bathroom as she gets older, and the boys can share the hall bath. It could be the Boy's Wing. Boys don't really care about privacy as much. Just a suggestion. Love the addition so far. Good for you Kim.

[@thewadsquad]

That’s a good idea! I’m sure as everyone gets older we may figure something out!

[@Frookie11]

Your house is beautiful.

[@wallashakalla]

Shout out to all the women across the rooms out there. You don’t know who you are probably, but you still deserve recognition.

[@mc5366]

I so look forward to The Wads videos wether it's what's for breakfast/lunch/dinner or just hanging out in the laundry room, makes my day! Wolfgang is so precious. The addition is moving fast now, Yay!!! Kim you Rock! you're always doing your best and your house and family are such a joy.

[@joannayeo9545]

I am officially a party person xx

[@brilliantbutblue]

Me too 🎉

[@kelvindonnel4608]

Hey Joanna! How are you doing??

[@kellycaswell3260]

you have five kids that need mom's attention and your floors will always be there and your kids will grow up fast. so don't worry what some stuck up people say. You spend the time with your family and worry about house work later. Plus you do more work all day then most people I know.

[@jezzlynnnoparticularniche8019]

If I would walk in and see your life scattered throughout....I wouldn't think about anything except for Wow she's real. We live in our house not in a glass house. Nothing is perfect. Anyone who knows perfection doesn't exist won't pretend to show it. Love ya woman because of you being YOU!. That is what I appreciate

[@kalendaniels702]

I always get so happy when I see Kim’s posted a new video! Like it’s just nice to feel as though you have a friend to do all the things of life with

[@traceyrommel1847]

Ending my Saturday with Kim! The addition looks great. I bet the girls are excited about their new rooms. My son and daughter-in-law bought a fixer upper home so my husband and I have been helping them with painting their entire house. Two more days and we will be done. Have.wonderful weekend.

[@jackistemper1419]

Thanks for the awesome tour ....how exciting for all of you !!! Progress at its finest !!! 🏡🏠🏡

[@annejoyner3729]

Cute spring decorations! Wolfgang's eyes are so sweet and expressive and Meredith is so grown and precious!

[@band122005]

I love Zenni glasses! Super affordable and hundreds of options to pick from!

[@queenfrog1969]

Love the extension. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming stages of finish for ready for move in. Love your lil Butterbean, he is so precious. Thanks for update! Peace!

[@Ali_Pitt]

That little Wolfgang!!! Holy moly he’s so sweet!! And so is Meredith! Kim you and your family are the best! Thank you for sharing ❤ so excited for you guys and the addition on your house!

[@annlynch593]

Our excitement is a arcade party for my 5 year old grandchild. I love hanging with our family.

[@thewadsquad]

Woo hoo!!! I can hear it from here lol

[@annlynch593]

@@thewadsquad love you!

Saturday mornings are my husband's day to sleep in and I get up with our kids. I could have chosen Sunday, but your videos give me something to look forward to on Saturday mornings so I don't mind getting up!

[@thewadsquad]

Oh wow love that you get to sleep in one day!! 🎉❤

[@1rd2st3th4nd]

I love when I hear the very Full House-esque hyper-90s theme song, means I get to hang out with Kim!!! You're the thing I miss the most about working from home! LOL

[@lyndamuller2025]

Wow, what a beautiful addition!. Kim, you are a blessing. Thank you for showing us the real side.

[@kikik5266]

I would break out in song! " You are not alone! I am here with you! Crumbs are everywhere! You are not alone!"

[@RexineGrant-ob9kn]

So happy for your family to have the extra space. It's going to be great. Love all your blogs. I watch them over & over.❤

[@Kickingitwithkeila]

Wolfgang is just chillin lol Thanks for showing the update of your house!

[@kazanapepper4146]

Enjoyed watching. Can't wait to see the finished addition to your house. 🙂❤️

[@EmmaChamp]

Love how you say you’re just surviving, cleaning, cooking, providing for your family, talking to the camera whilst sorting out two small children, that’s all sorts of amazing!

[@danadowney6024]

Love you Kim!!! You’re the coolest friend I know!!! Hanging out with you is the highlight of my day!!!♥️♥️♥️

[@chelseareviews300]

Today we have little league opening day for my 2 boys (4 and 7.). Then come home and decorate for Easter! Enjoy your Saturday ❤

Oh Wow!!! The addition is looking great!✨✨✨ I know you’re so excited. I just love when your babies are in the vlog 💕💕💕

[@pconan1]

Love your videos!❤. The addition is coming along, so exciting.

[@kathleenmcgimpsey7855]

So excited to see the progress on the addition. It looks like it’s going to be amazing !

[@maryrassatt2334]

Hi Kim, This was one of my favorite videos. Little bit of everything. Wolfgang got a (Awe) outside, he made the cutest expression. ❤

[@estellevantaak580]

I love ya girl!!!!!!!!!!! U always put a smile on my face. ❤

[@tiwanajohnson8432]

LOVING IT. THE PROGRESS OF EVERYTHING SO EXCITED TO SEE THE FINAL FINISHED PRODUCT SOUNDS AMAZING I'M PICTURING IT ALL DECORATED & FURNISHED.

[@ellennewth6305]

The new addition is very impressive! It took so long to get it started, but now it's really coming together. Love how Wolfgang was listening attentively as you talked about the new construction. Love the kids "new" rooms with the huge windows!!!

[@VictoriaBard]

Thank you for sharing the addition with us. I love seeing how homes are built in different parts of the country. Here in TN our exterior walls are made with 2x4s. Man would our house be sturdy if it was built like yours. Of course we don’t get hurricanes but we do get tornadoes.

[@ladybliss101]

Awesome! Just watched an older playlist of your videos while I cleaned. Once it was done and I sat down your latest video came up !!!

[@rondamcbride6607]

You make me so happy. Just got back from my walk and wahoo!!!! 😁😁😁🥰

[@msrandall2005]

Good morning Kim!! So excited for you new addition ❤ read some of your comments that were posted and sooo true about you keeping it real! Have the best weekend! ❤❤❤

[@missyholz]

Wolfgang sleeping! ❤️❤️❤️ He’s so cute awake or asleep.

[@marilynreichenbach9220]

You look fantastic Kim! So excited your house addition is finally moving forward.

[@kellycrowl1500]

Happy Weekend Kim & the Wad Squad! The new addition is finally getting closer, wahoo! 👏🏻 Wolfgang is such a sweet little guy! Love your videos!❤

[@kittyrhyder]

OMG that extension is just amazing the girls will not know themselves with all that space. Wolfgang is just so adorable, watching his wee face is just joy!!! Kim hes looks so much like you but with Daddy like eyes.... lots of love from Down Under xox

[@colleenfontaine8240]

Listened while I cleaned the kitchen and made lunch. Your company made everything much more enjoyable and time went much more quickly than if I had been working in the quiet. Thanks!

[@nancybarta8167]

Love storm doors and lots of windows!!!!Wolfie you are adorable!!!Your children are never going to move out!!!I have the egg tree from Target!!!

[@kaciewolf772]

If I came over and saw crumbs, I’d vacuum!! Because friends offer a hand, not judge! And I need to try the sorcery that is your cross wave!!

[@kimtruhlicka9329]

Goodmorning Kim and Party People!Exciting to see the addition coming along!Wolfgang is getting so BIG! So cute! Have a great weekend everyone!🧡💚💜💃🏻👶

[@lisasmith4202]

I loved the video Kim . The addition to your house looks great . You will have plenty of space and another bathroom to clean :) weeee . Always love your energy and I pray your eyes get better with new glasses . Wolfgang is so cute and Meredith to they are both growing so fast :) you have a wonderful and blessed family .

[@judymitchell27]

Excited for your new addition getting done. 🎉

[@PaigeMummerow]

Love your heart! You’re such a joy to all!❤❤❤

[@cheryljohnson206]

Kim I love how you are realistic. I always enjoy your videos❤️ your kids are so adorable too❤ I have plenty of clutter that seems to never end and crumbs and crap on my floor too and get to it when I can! It’s real life🙂

[@jenniferkelly1797]

I feel like I’m about to watch an older show that used to come on with this music in beginning of video. Love it!!

[@megannoble1806]

Yay! Good morning Kim! I’ve been up with the baby since 3:30am so this video was definitely needed.

[@thewadsquad]

This is exactly why I post early in the morning ☀️ hope you get a nap in!!

[@sashcraft51]

That baby! I do watch Kim. Great vlog. Excited about the new space. Lucky girls.

[@SStoll-dz1cp]

Me too! First time ordering prescription sunglasses. I ordered mine from Walmart vision center. Decided to splurge because I was already planning a cruise. I loved them.

[@MarrisaCook]

Thanks for another great video Kim! I'm so excited to see the addition when it's done! Did anyone else see Wolfgang's face around 5 minutes in? He is way too cute 😄

[@vvmarie9922]

The food looked delicious and the addition is coming along I can't wait to see how every thing turns out

[@sandradummer4726]

Morning Kim and family, Happy Saturday morning and weekend.

[@jamieeberhard8515]

So glad you reminded me off egg roll in a bowl. I love this recipe. Once I had that planned for dinner this week it was easy to add tacos, spaghetti, Chx ceasar salad and meatloaf. Dinners are planned for the week. Thanks Kim!!!!!

[@phyllisiannetta8108]

Kim. I enjoyed this time with you so much. You covered everything, and this was such a great time. Thank you. I had so much fun with you today.

[@carissafisher7514]

I started laughing so hard when you said...and that’s the Easter decor, I think if I blinked I would have missed it 😂

[@lucyfoster7472]

Please don't take this the wrong way Kim its meant with genuine love. When you was showing us the extension, Wolfgangs facial expressions are similar to the Wallace and grommit characters. He made me laugh so hard. It's those big chunky cheeks he has. Again I don't mean any malice just can't get over how cute he is ❤. Love lucy in the UK xx

[@erincarter7143]

Thanks for the motivation. I stater watching the video. Saw you start a load of laundry and promptly got up to start mine. It turned into a complete house deep clean while binge listening to your videos😂🎉

[@sandygonzalezz9160]

It's a beautiful day in California and we get a new Kim video. Best Day EVER!!! love you Kim!

[@SaltWife22]

You are real and your family is beautiful! Thank you for sharing and letting me know I am not alone! I have 3 girls and it’s hard! God bless you and thank you ❤

[@amandatransformed]

You can get bulk seasonings for all the glass jars you don't know what to do with!

[@ingridbeharry6252]

Hey Kim, I would feel at home if I came to your house and saw crumbs on the floor and hey don't forget the couch what is life without crumbs on the couch. That's how you know your home is filled with love and life. Enjoy my friend.

[@sylvettemaricot3836]

Love the addition. My goal for today is to clean up part of my garden where some flowers are growing way too much. Our after school snack in France used to be bread (baguette) butter and chocolate. Bon week-end Kim

[@DivinevirgoFeminine]

You me and cleaning on this Saturday morning = my happiness ❤

[@CreatressJennyMarie]

Great video Kim, thank you🙂

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

So excited for your house addition! Its funny how big it looks now that its framed out. Your food always looks chef’s 💋! 😋! I know whats its like to push forward when your feeling like you want to crawl back to bed when there is no possible way to do it. I was a single mom. Take care of yourself💐🌸🤗. Sweet Merideth’s voice makes you want to melt! Wolfgang is a cutie pie too! Ty for all the inspiration!! Hugs

[@patriciahusk3428]

What! Wolfgang is almost 6 months old…that’s unbelievable😮! He gets cuter by the day 😘! Thank you for sharing your house expansion with us! It’s going to be amazing💜!!

[@beckyzink1230]

We love Crumbl Cookies too. We have to drive 1 hour to get to one! I buy the party pack, bring them home, cut them into thirds and freeze them. Then when we want some, i just take out 2 pieces. Love when you work around the house, it inspires me to do the same!!!!

[@sarahludos7970]

Kim, Wolfgang is so adorable!!! I would not even look at your floors in your house because chances are you would see the same in mine. I mopped the other day and in 3 hours there was stuff on it and there is only 2 of us. I had to laugh real hard when you said Meredith was encouraging you to buy the stuff, that would have been fun to hear. I always look forward to the days you post. Have a great weekend!!

[@lanicastaner1876]

Extension looks awesome. Love those big windows! And shout out to Alex!! Cream cheese +pickle spears wrapped in a thin slice of ham! Game day staple at our house! Yum. Gotta try it Kim!
